Jake“Jake, wake up” I turned to the other side and continued to sleep. “Jake!” Trojan yells causing my head to hurt. “Go to sleep Trojan, we have a long day tomorrow.” I tell him then close my eyes trying to get more sleep. “There is something wrong with mate.” He says, and I feel irritated just by hearing that.Now a person cannot have peace because his mate is around, I did not even ask for this damned mate. “Is she dying?” that would be the only time I leave this bed to go check on her. “No, but I feel her destress, something is wrong?” Trojan tells me. “Then if she is not dying let me sleep, besides, what could be stressing her when she is supposed to be sleeping?” I asked letting my irritation show in my voice.“I can’t sense her in the house Jake.” He tells me, well, if she decided to go looking for trouble then that is not my problem. “Maybe she went for a walk, or a run and her distress has nothing to do with me.” I say then closed my eyes again trying to sleep more. “Your fa

Jake I stood up the stairs and looked down as my uncle welcomed guests. The packhouse was nicely decorated and soft music played in the background. My pack members were nicely dressed in evening gowns and suits. They had genuine smiles on their faces, and nothing could please me more.But all that did not take away the anxiety I felt, I was about to meet all the alphas for the first time. I was not groomed like all the other alphas to take over, my father was not exactly a role model and he thought he was going to live longer, so he saw no reason to teach me how to be an alpha or introduce me to the others.How was he going to do that anyway when he did not get along with any of them? The only time John William was in the same space as another alpha was when he was attacking them. Now, how was I going to be introduced to them besides my father did not see me as his son but as something, he could play with whenever he felt like it.Elena’s alpha arrived, and I watched as he exchanged

Elena “I will warn you to refrain from talking about things you do not know, alpha.” I did not know where Martin came from, but he was now glaring at the alpha. “My personal issues with my mate have nothing to do with any of you. If you want to continue with the party, then you are welcome to do so. If not, you are welcome to leave.” Jake said with a calm but cold and commanding voice.Lucas sneered looking at my mate and I knew that what he was going to say next was going to set my mate off. “You are just like your cold-blooded killer father and that speech you gave us was nothing but a lie. You are taking my mate just like your father did.” I feel Jake shaking beside me then he took a few steps and closed the gap between him and Lucas.“Alpha Lucas, I have been in your pack since I was born. When I turned eighteen, I was at your pack, I never felt any connection with you that suggested we are mates. The only connection you and I have with each other is that of an alpha and subordin

Jake“I thought things would be different after your father died, but here I am now talking about you challenging another alpha for a mate! Those were your father’s tricks Jake, why are you following in his footsteps?” the king roared in anger after he heard what I had to say on the phone. He is making me angry and judging me without giving me a chance is just wrong.“What would you prefer then my king, me letting Lucas attack and me killing every one of them or me challenging their alpha and get this over without spilling more innocent blood?” it’s his choice, if he wanted the Golden Moon Pack to cease to exist then that is fine by me. I am tired of being pushed over. Since I took over as the alpha these people have been pushing my buttons and now, they will get what they have been hoping for.“Damn it, Jake! You and this damned Lucas are putting me in a difficult position. You both know that my priority is to think of what is best for the pack and that pack will not survive another

JAKE“My beta will show you to the training grounds, the council is already there.” The poor excuse of a king says, and the beta leads the way. My warriors are alert and keep looking around. If there is something that my father did well then it was to train these warriors to be the best among the best and I am grateful for that. I just did not like how he used them for his selfish gains. When we appear on the training grounds, it is filled with people, but the silence says otherwise, its like the people are already in mourning and yet not one is dead yet. Interesting! I wonder what these fools have in store for us. I see the council standing together talking in hush tones. When they see me, they stop talking and look at me with pity in their eyes. Their looks confirm what I have already been thinking that I have been lured into a trap by the king and they are in, or it or they know about it and decided not to do anything about it. My warriors and I stand in front and wait. The peopl
